DENVER -- It was a thousand-word picture, as a beaming, 24-year-old rookie quarterback enjoyed a moment with thousands of his newest friends, almost a decade in the making.
After the Denver Broncos clinched the seventh, and final, playoff spot in the AFC with a 38-0 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Empower Field at Mile High, Bo Nix took a victory lap, high-fiving roaring, ecstatic fans all the way around the stadium.
"I learned I've got to run a little more during the week because that's a long lap,'' Nix said with wry smile. "I was a little tired at the end. The fans deserve it, and it's been a long time coming.''
